Re: foamex... to cnc or not??
Only the bay window was cut from foamex to enable me to "flex" it into the required shape. The mdf was cut using a 3.175 cutter and the foamex/ply with 1mm.

Lol, I've noticed the large percentage of Northerners up here Geoff! Lol
They've become quite civilised though.... only since they were introduced to electricity I'm led to believe.
At least that's the way it seems to an alien like me ;-)

Electricity ???? What's that then & what's it used for ???? In the real North It's something that I don't think we have come across yet lol
Re: foamex... to cnc or not??
Andy, my main difficulty was the language barrier (it gets even worse further up).
I understand that the main reason that for introducing the electrickery was to speed up operation of the steam powered cnc machines.
By the way if you ever find that you are venturing (I guess you are a caravan man), you are welcome to drop in and see how it used to be done!!!

Nah if we have truly started turning this Springbok northern then he'd rather drag is Van north up a hill with is teeth before turn and free wheel south.!!

Sorry to barge in on this post only 9 years late... I am very impressed with your dolls house and am looking at doing something similar for model rail 1/19th scale. Having never used a CNC router before this is going to be a sharp learning curve and before I splash the cash wondered about the type of CNC router / bits and speeds used. If you still pick up this thread could you please give a little starting advice on what equipment would be needed to start something like this? I have computer graphics and programming experience and understand the basic concept of G-code, but beyond that I am a total newbie. Am I biting off more than I can chew? Many thanks
